I interviewed the top Family Law attorneys in Central and Northern New Jersey before retaining the services of Sylvia Costantio and her Firm. The top attorneys that I met with could not hold a candle next to Sylvia. Her professionalism, compassion and attention to detail is superior to anyone is the industry. What set Sylvia apart is that she knows NJ Family Law and is relentless in providing and securing the best outcome for her clients and their families.

Sylvia helped me navigate the most challenging chapter of my life to date by listening and understanding my desired outcome. From beginning to end, she upheld my priorities and knew what I valued most and ultimately she succeeded. She is so knowledgeable and thorough. She never missed a beat. Sylvia and her team are incredibly punctual, responsive and thorough. They truly care about the clients they take on, and that is so apparent in their communication and guidance. I found Sylvia to be meticulous with details. She went to great lengths to protect me and fight for what is fair and right. I would trust her over and over again, and if you’re considering filing for divorce I would not consider working with anyone else. Sylvia is outstanding. The absolute best! I had an attorney handling my divorce prior to Sylvia, and there is no comparing the attention to detail and investment from one attorney to the next. I am certain the outcome of my divorce was what it was because of Sylvia’s representation. Had I continued along with the previous attorney, I would have had an entirely different outcome and one that I am sure would not have benefitted me, nor my daughter. The attorney you choose will ultimately determine the path of your divorce. I can say with complete confidence that Sylvia will be the best representation you can find. Hiring her was the best decision I made, and I will be eternally grateful for her counsel, support and strength!

Highly recommend great lawyer Price is good service is amazing

Sylvia and all the girls were so great! My divorce was such a disaster on my husbands part, and Sylvia stayed on top of all the craziness he threw my way, in the end I am so happy with the final divorce settlement and I could not have done it without Sylvia and the girls.

Simply put, not professional. Was embarrassed by her representation. Too costly for poor quality.

I had a wonderful time working with Steve and his team. They were quick and responsive with answering all of my questions and concerns. He also took the time to explain in great detail anything regarding the case. Steve always had my best interest at heart. My needs were always put first and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I did not have a lot of experience with attorneys or legal matters. Kristin took the time to work with me and explain everything to me. Sometimes two or three times. She wanted to make sure that I understood everything and was comfortable. She was completely professional and understanding. She made the entire process so easy for me. I am so grateful for everything she did for me.

I used Kristin for several matters. She always returned my phone calls and always made herself available to me to answer my questions. She took her time and made sure that I understood everything. She is incredibly knowledgeable. She is tough on the adversary and makes sure the gets the best result that she can get for you. I will continue to utilize her for all of my legal matters and I recommended her every chance I get.

Kristin Pallonetti is an extremely caring and devoted attorney. She is very knowledge and took the time to answer any questions or concerns we had. She went above and beyond for us and communicated with us throughout the process.

Steve is a great lawyer. He totally took control of my case. He knew exactly what to do. At the hearing, it was obvious that the judge knew and respected him. It was totally different from experiences I had with lawyers in the past. Very honest and fair with the bill too.

I met with Victoria Paone to discuss the services her practice provides. Victoria's approach was unique and strategic. Her insight on different types of family law showed her passion for her clients. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for advice. I meet with many attorneys as part of my business but I felt so strongly that I wanted to share my thoughts on this firm and Victoria specifically.

Determined, caring, and knowledgeable is how I would describe Torie Paone. She is a relentless fighter for her clients and does so without the need for recognition. She truly cares about providing the best result possible to her clients. Lastly, Torie has spent the extra time to be a master of her craft. We have worked together for over five years and Torie has always been consistent. Based on my personal experience, I can, wholeheartedly, recommend Tori Paone to be your matrimonial attorney.

Great, smooth experience. Very responsive and helpful

Megan handled my case to terminate alimony payments. This was handled successfully in a timely and professional manner exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend this firm and in particular Megan to handle any matters relating to divorce and support. I selected them because they were highly reviewed and they didn't disappoint.

I would highly recommend Cassie Murphy. I was very impressed with the care she took in helping me. I felt she listened and showed compassion and understanding when dealing with a difficult situation. Ms. Murphy is extremely knowledgeable and presented options which assisted me in my endeavors. If I am in need of a lawyer in the future, I would not hesitate to hire her again.

Approximately two years ago, I began attorney shopping after I was told by my now ex-wife, that she wanted a divorce. I was betrayed, and trying to navigate through something that I have never experienced before. I did not want an attorney who would “throw wood into the fire,” heighten my emotions, make me overthink things, or entice me to take unnecessary actions out of anger or emotion. I had two meetings lined up, one being with Steve. I felt that Steve fit my personality very well, and we have since developed a solid relationship and understanding that goes beyond business. Steve was a calming presence, completely fair, honest, and accountable throughout the duration of the divorce process. Also, Steve has a sense of humor that I greatly appreciate. On top of that, Steve is a great writer, very thorough with his work, and a very clear communicator. Last but not least, Karen and Val are extremely pleasant to work with; always there to help and assist. If you want an attorney with straightforward integrity, conscientious with your money, and gives extremely honest viewpoints based on his 30 plus years of experience, Steve is the attorney for you. Thank you for all the guidance and assistance, Steve. It will never be forgotten.

Hands down, the best divorce attorney in New Jersey. Steve was always there when I needed something. He made sure that I didn’t get taken for a ride from the opposing attorney. He’s a lawyer you can count on and if you are in the unfortunate situation of getting divorced, he’s the man for the job. His staff is top notch. They are so fast in responding and getting paperwork done. I have ZERO complaints about Steve and his staff. Steve is a tough attorney, which is what you want and he will fight for you from day one. Steve and staff, thank you so much for all that you did for me and thank you for helping me move on with my life. I wish I could give more than 5 stars, you deserve it.

I was referred to Mr. Kaplan by another "super attorney" who was retiring. I am so glad he did. Mr. Kaplan is a very talented, hard working, professional, personal, and attentive attorney. Who also has a conscience. He always kept me informed of all changes and updated me on my matter in a very timely manner. He even worked an entire weekend once on a pressing issue. He is a very honest man and I believe his honesty is known throughout the Monmouth/Ocean county court system which gives him credibility with both judges and his peers. His staff always met my expectations and was also always on time. I give my highest recommendation for Steven J. Kaplan to anyone who has a family law matter.

Steven Kaplan is an outstanding divorce lawyer! He's focused, efficient and highly professional, with an expert knowledge of NJ matrimonial law. You will find lawyers who are cheaper no doubt, but you won't find any better than Steve. And as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. My only regret is that I didn't use him as my first divorce lawyer, instead of my second. And divorce is definitely one of those things that you want to get right the first time. If you have Steve Kaplan handle your divorce, you will not have any regrets.

Steve Kaplan recently guided me through my divorce. From beginning to end he was extremely thorough, honest, responsive, knowledgeable and familiar with NJ divorce law and the divorce process. Steve advised me and worked with me each step of the way, always knowing the specific details of my case. He made me feel like we were working together as a team to get to a positive end result. Also, his office team was very caring, responsive and always available to help me throughout my case. Divorce is not an easy process, but Steve and his team made it as comfortable as possible for me. I am grateful for everything Steve and his team did to assist me. Thanks to all of you at Kaplan Law Office!

A great law firm to work with. I have worked with them on a few different cases in several different areas of the law, and each and every time they have provided me with the great legal advice. I absolutely recommend Ansell Grimm &Aaron. Every person I have worked with in the firm is wonderfully helpful and just a pleasure to talk to, and they provide top-notch legal advice.

They seem to pick and choose whether they return phone calls. Not sure how they can make that decision without actually talking to someone but perhaps the other partners should know when one discriminates.

I've had two unfortunate situations where I needed legal representation. I sought the their help and was happy that I did. This is a quality group of lawyers. In my opinion, the best in the state. I can never thank them enough.

Not that I've had all that much experience with attorneys; but our first visit with Doug Davie left me knowing we would be well represented. Personable, involved, knowledgeable, understanding...the accolades could go on and on. Recommended without reservation!!

Immediate response and turn around time. Remarkable professionalism with the Ansell firm. I have personally worked with multiple lawyers in this law firm - Mitchell Ansell, Peter Grimm, Donna Maul, Michael Ansell and David Ansell. Whether Real Estate, Wills, Business law, Family law and/or Criminal law - this is the "go to" law firm. I have made dozens of recommendations to friends and colleagues.

    A great law firm to work with. I have worked with them on a few different cases in several different areas of the law, and each and every time they have provided me with the great legal advice. I absolutely recommend Ansell Grimm &Aaron. Every person I have worked with in the firm is wonderfully helpful and just a pleasure to talk to, and they provide top-notch legal advice.

I can't say enough about this man very professional, very caring I sincerely wish I could give him 10 stars.. We all know that a lawyer can charge high fees however you get what you pay for. Mr. Nocks has been nothing but an exceptional lawyer. He leaves no rock unturned and is very good at what he does. If you want a lawyer that is going to do exceptional work, be completely caring -I sometimes think I am his only client, he cares that much. If you want and need a lawyer believe me you won't regret hiring Mr. Nocks. He is also a gentleman in that he treats the layman with respect, walks you through the exact process you will be going through and ensures that he will do his very best to ensure the judge gets the correct situation before a decision is made. I consider him a friend and I thank God he was directed to be my advocate in dealing with the justice system. Mr. Nocks I have told you this in our conversation now I put it in writing if there were more people in this world who could be half the person you are- we would definitely live in a better world. I will be sad when the case is over and hope we can remain in touch God bless you and your family. The Diaz family

I do not know if Richard will appreciate my comparison of him to a central theme in a Bronx Tale but the key word to remember is "accessibility". Knowing Richard is close by all of the time when needed is one my reasons for highly recommending him. There are many qualified attorneys, but none that I know with his level of competence and availability. I used Richard for two post divorce motions and he was always available to discuss any concerns I had with the issues. He represented me and my children with a fighting spirit not found in many attorneys. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and willing to take the time to share that knowledge with his clients. He is patient to explain the pros and cons of any approach he recommends. He will not squander your money on frivolous claims. He is very conscientious about pursuing paths that will result in positive results and does not chase solutions down rabbit holes just to bill for the time or satisfy someones ego. He commits your money as if it is his own. In the end ,no one can predict the outcome of any case, given it is always subject to the opinions of a single Judge. With Richard you will be given the best path forward for any situation and you will know you were represented by the best person possible who is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Richard Nocks.

Without hesitation I recommend Richard Nocks. He is an excellent attorney and a good man who came highly recommended to me. I was not disappointed! He guided me through one of the most challenging times of my life with a distinguished level of intelligence and dedication. He made me feel like he was a friend fighting for me!

Richard is an excellent lawyer who represented me. He is very professional and works to secure the best interest of his client at all times. After having consulted with many lawyers prior to meeting Richard, I am glad I selected Richard to handle my case. He successfully concluded my case in a timely manner. Richard came highly recommended and I would certainly recommend him. I wish him success !

Richard is a professional and caring attorney. He takes the time to actually listen to what his clients are saying, what their needs are and devises a strategic plan to make sure they are 100% satisfied. I have no hesitation recommending him to family, friends, or anyone else in need of a great attorney, who also has his clients best interest in mind.

I called Brian with my case about a family matter. I am a law abiding citizen with little faith in our justice system. As , I feel you are more guilty till proven innocent, than the way it is actually said in reality. Brian took the time out from the first phone call to understand my case. When I thought of something during the wait for trial, he always was there to give an ear . As I was nervous at trial , Brian made me feel comfortable and relaxed while awaiting our ZOOM case to start. Brian took control and got my case dismissed on the first day . I applaud and thank Brian and his office for handling this matter and I am happy with the end results ! I would recommend Brian and his office to anyone that wants a lawyer that actually listens, is there for you and gets the job done !

Michael Wenning worked endlessly for almost a year straight on my trial! It was Criminal Matter/DV/RO/ Custody Matter! Michael Answered every phone call i made. Michael Strategic way of this matter was focus on my children and what mattered most was the Best interest of the children. My situation was difficult one. 2 Violations on Ro/ and final Ro pending with custody battle. Michael showed true talent because after 6 hour trial, 3 day back and forth He made sure he provided me exactly what I was searching for and proved to the Court the truth and providing customer satifaction i am writing this full matter because there are people in my situation that feel there is no hope! Mike gave me hope and as calm as he is, his knowledge of factual evidence and cross examination was handled with true talent and after year fighting he got Me my babies back thank you Michael! And Brian Winters is in my eye also true lawyer his Knowledge and skills these two lawyers do not back down they stand by what they feel is nessary For handling each situation! True Super lawyer Michael Wenning and Brian Winters have stood by me and always delivered. Thank you!

Anything but Dry I have often heard it said that in order to be a lawyer one needs to be stern and have a dry personality. I can honestly say this is the farthest thing from the truth after working with Amy Harris. I tried to represent myself when I initiated a divorce process a few years ago. Due to my lack of legal knowledge, I was unsuccessful. After realizing this was something I could not do on my own, I went in search of a lawyer that would be a good fit for me. I called thirty lawyers before choosing one to work with. All the lawyers I talked with on the phone were not friendly and even worse then that, they had bone dry personalities. Amy Harris was the only lawyer that agreed to talk with me on the phone, when I let her know how difficult it would be to come meet in person, due to child care issues. I knew right away after talking with her that I had found the perfect fit for me. Amy has been an absolute joy to work with and to be around. She is compassionate, organized, and has a stellar sense of humor. Lawyers can get a bad rep. People think they are only in it for the money. While I have only worked with one lawyer in my life thus far I have come to a different conclusion. Lawyers can see the end when we can’t. For that very reason they are able to offer sincere encouragement and support when one feels like all hope is lost. Not only can they see the end, they are the ones who create the roadmap to arrive there. Amy navigated this map flawlessly. I really experienced a true tragedy in my life that lead up to my divorce. I was blindsided, and felt as though the rug was pulled out from under me. I was an emotional wreck, knowing that I had Amy advocating for me brought me some peace of mind, and a strong sense of relief. Here I am today, a divorced woman, something that I thought was unattainable. While I am thrilled that I am divorced, part of me was sad today that I wouldn’t be communicating with Amy anymore. Perhaps this sounds odd, but I was able to be open and honest with her, and this has been a hard part of my healing journey. It’s been hard feeling like I could not be open with anyone about my situation and how it made me feel. Amy validated how I felt, and that meant a lot to me. When I look back on this painful time in my life, I will always genuinely be grateful to Amy and her assistant Jennifer. Thankful for their wisdom, and that they treated me with kindness. It was always evident to me that they were dedicated to my case and to my cause. I still have a long road ahead of me as far as my healing journey goes. Amy helped me to feel farther along in that journey then I ever have. Thank you Amy, for allowing me to step into this new stage of life. If it was not for you, and all your hard work, I would never be free to fall in love again, and that’s the greatest gift that there is. Thanks to you I am more free today then I have ever been. Free to put myself out there, free to meet new people, free to swim in the ocean with my clothes on, causing me to be anything but dry.

They only care about the money. Very poor service with Nancy(Secretary). Before they take your case they were friendly but after that they don't answer the calls they said that they going to call you back and never did. PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE!!!!

Michael Wenning is a great attorney, really personable.

Amy is the most unprofessional attorney that I have worked with. Furthermore, after she did not win her case she had her staff use fake email addresses to post negative reviews about my firm. I would strongly advise any potential client in need of legal services to look elsewhere. She comes off as someone that is on your side and when things do not go her way, look out. She forces her team to do unprofessional tasks in order to punish those who do not go along with her demands. She is unstable and an abrasive person.

I highly recommend Cores & Associates for your custody case. All of the staff are kind and courteous. Amy Cores is professional, knows the laws, took the time to explain all the steps of my case, and always made herself available anytime I had questions or needed her support on a matter.

Amy Cores took my alimony case with great professionalism and a very positive attitude. She explained every step of the way and was very sensitive to my needs. I highly recommend Cores & Associates.

Amy proved to be a very valuable partner in my international child custody case. She demonstrated great depth of expertise, was very responsive, always provided "on point" advice, and was able to connect me with the right attorney in another state, when the need arose. She played an important role in the successful resolution of my issue, and I highly recommend her.

They've been great to work with, would recommend to anyone facing a difficult family law issue.
